As a deliverer of the Active IQ
Level 1 Award in Active,
Healthy Living, ActiFIT Education delivers this “life skills”
qualification at level 1 on the National Qualifications Framework as an
ideal introduction to both health and fitness, and compliment qualifications
such as GCSE P.E.
Students are taught by qualified instructors who link activity and better
health with an enjoyable vocational experience. Students will learn how to
analyse their lifestyle and put together a strategy to improve nutritional
habits and take up opportunities of becoming more active in their daily
life. ActiFIT Education will also ensure the following education
prerequisites are in place for all courses delivered:
• Full risk assessment completed for all on and off-site activities;

Child Matters training course;

ActiFIT Education also delivers a
Level 2 Fitness Instructor
Qualification. Aimed at Sixth Form students, the Level 2 qualification
will enable successful participants to seek employment as a fully qualified
instructor with Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) accreditation, and
will prove an excellent learning vehicle to complement the study of A-level
P.E. or Biology. (For further information on REPS, go to

are also available for pupils and school staff. These can be tailored to the
